With the mission to guide others through the rough journey she faced time and time again, Cheryl started Lived2Tell’s work in 2000. In 2001, Cheryl was left with no other option but to retire from her corporate job due to complications from her cancer. This only added fuel to her growing passion. Cheryl began to pour her heart into helping her patients and their families and hasn’t stopped since.

Because she braved cancer without strong support, she knows how draining fighting this illness is. Her organization began by assisting women affected by the disease but has since opened to all patients because she knows no one should be left alone in a time of need.

From personal mobility assistance to emotional support, Cheryl and her jubilant character are there when her patients need them as they live to tell their stories of survival.
